Björnskfestivalen 3

Björnskfestivalen 3 will be the third edition of Björnskfestivalen, the music contest used to select the Björnsk entry for Maia Song Contest 3. This edition will feature eight songs instead of the usual six. The slogan has also been confirmed to remain as "You Choose".

Entries
Björnsk Television (BTV) announced on 5 August 2016 that they had already begun planning the selection, and revealed that there would be eight artists competing in this edition, two more than in the previous editions of the show.

Withdrawal of Lea Michele
After being confirmed as a competing artist on the show, Lea Michele later announced on 20 August that she could no longer take part in the show. She cited touring commitments and legal issues surrounding them, and therefore she would be unable to compete in neither Björnskfestivalen or the Maia Song Contest. BTV responded, saying "We are disappointed that Lea cannot perform for us on what will be such a wonderful night, however do not worry as Björnska has so much talent to choose from. We will find an appropriate replacement, and wish Lea the best of luck in her career". It was confirmed the same day that Evangeline would instead perform in the 8th slot originally reserved for Michele.
